Ok thanks for the clarification, now elaborate please - so Jacob lived there? Was Jacob the founder and then A.R. took the company over?

Yes on both counts.  Here is a link to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography's entry on Jacob Kaufman:  http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/kaufman_jacob_14E.html

Ugh.

Different project? The Korean grocer being closer to Cameron street and the Drewlo project?

  • Well that isn't a good indicator that the project will start anytime soon

Oh wow okay. And obviously that entire strip mall is supposed to be demolished right? Wonder if they plan to do some sort of staggered sales for all units then break ground. No that doesn't make sense either. Can't sell for 2 years tying up deposits for 5+.

That strip mall has looked rough for some time now, if the businesses are there for another 2 or 3 years I cant see anyone putting any effort to make the plaza shine.


RE: Station Park (née SIXO) | 28 + 20? + 12? + ? fl | Proposed - Momo26 - 04-09-2019

Id like to hear for certain of this project and sales are delayed after all.

I know there is design work ongoing … it seems strange that they are doing this level of work, if they won't start for another three years. But I suppose stranger things have happened.

Especially because it's mostly vacant.  If you were one of the last remaining tenants, it'd be a ghost town

I was just pondering when driving through a very dead downtown Kit Sat and somewhat lively uptown Waterloo. Maybe we are due for a bit of a plateau in development? With the projects already started and Young now apparently approved to break ground, perhaps these 3-4 buildings in Station Park are a bit overzealous?

There really is a lot on the books and downtown has grown significantly in the past 10 years. If you're looking for significant new development announcements, I think that might not happen until the Transit Hub design is announced and ground breaks. The Transit Hub is such an important development not just for downtown but all of Kitchener-Waterloo.

Whenever the development happens, it's likely to be staged, istm. Construction of the whole thing could take a decade or more.

Kinda like the Barrel Yards in Waterloo -- that's a long project. I can't even remember when they broke ground, maybe 10 years ago? And they're still at it.

From the Barrel Yards thread, it looks like they started removing topsoil in June 2010.
